yes, see my second post :) Strange, I installed the mysql-server-5.0 package in a hardy live cd, but here, the directory /etc/mysql/conf.d is created and it contains the file old_passwirds.conf. I have no idea how this file could be removed from my system. Still, a daemon should definitely not fail to start because a directory that contains optional, additional configs is not there. I'm checkin further to find out * whether maybe even the package install script itself is responsible for removing the file/directory * whether previous versions of the mysql package also are unable to start when the directory is missing. and get back with more info... -- mysql refuses to start after security update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
